Prosecutors have charged Ryan Routh with the attempted assassination of former US president Donald Trump.
The man accused of staking out Donald Trump's Florida golf course with a rifle has been indicted on a charge of attempted assassination of a political candidate as prosecutors alleged he intended to kill the former US president. Ryan Routh, 58, was already facing two gun-related charges after authorities said he pointed a rifle through a fence at Trump's golf club in West Palm Beach on 15 September while the Republican presidential candidate was golfing there.
His lawyers unsuccessfully sought to have him released on bond. Prosecutors have in recent days revealed evidence they said pointed toward a plan to kill Trump. They alleged that months before the incident, Routh dropped off a letter to an unidentified person alluding to "an assassination attempt on Donald Trump". They said Routh spent a month in South Florida, and mobile phone data showed him near the golf course and Trump's Florida residence at Mar-a-Lago.
